Create a Community profile for an individual
Before you start
Who can use this feature
Anyone with a Figma account can create and update a personal Community profile.
You will need to choose a profile handle and create a profile before you can like or follow resources in the Figma Community. You do not need a profile to duplicate files or install plugins.
Community profiles showcase your contributions to the Figma Community. They allow other members of the community to see any plugins you develop, or files you publish.
Figma supports Community profiles for individuals, teams, and organizations. You can have a profile for every Figma account you have, and one Figma account per email address.
Your profile will include files or plugins you personally publish, as well as any files you're listed as a creator on.
Note: Your Community profile can only be associated with one Figma account (and email address). If you have both personal and work Figma account, we recommend picking one to create your profile from.
If you are part of an organization, your Community profile will be tied to your company email. Any files or plugins you create and share from that profile will belong to the organization. If you want to publish to a profile that you have complete control and ownership over, we recommend publishing from a personal account that isn't linked to your company email.
If you're a team admin or organization admin, you may be able to publish to more than one profile. Learn who can publish files and plugins →
